Happy St Patrick's Day

If there is an ounce of Irish blood in you you'll be celebrating nowish - there's some debate about the day. For all that and a whole lot more you need to visit the Pink Heart Society blog.

I'm a very healthy mix of English, Scottish and Welsh but it seems my ancestors didn't leave the mainland. Just as well really because they'd probably have been the ones stealing other people's lands. So I can hold my head high and wish everyone Beannachtam na feile Padraig and leave you with an Irish toast.


May the frost never afflict your spuds.May the leaves of your cabbage always be free from worms.May the crows never pick your haystack.If you inherit a donkey, may she be in foal.

Sláinte!
